ATEM Mini, Mic 2 not writing XML in macros

I just discovered something really weird… when recording a macro, activity on Mic 2 is recorded, but does NOT show up on the saved XML file!

Do this… record four macros, each doing just one thing:

• turn on mic 1
• turn off mic 1
• turn on mic 2
• turn off mic 2

Now, play each one back. They all perform what they are supposed to do.

But then save the XML file and look at the code, and here's what you'll see:

Code: Select all

        <Macro index="5" name="turn on mic 1" description="">
            <Op id="FairlightAudioMixerInputSourceMixType" input="ExternalMic" sourceId="18446744073709486336" mixType="On"/>
        </Macro>
        <Macro index="6" name="turn off mic 1" description="">
            <Op id="FairlightAudioMixerInputSourceMixType" input="ExternalMic" sourceId="18446744073709486336" mixType="Off"/>
        </Macro>
        <Macro index="7" name="turn on mic 2" description=""/>
        <Macro index="8" name="turn off mic 2" description=""/>


uh… notice something missing? like, all the code for mic 2?

I did the same thing to record levels changes:

• vol mic 1
• vol mic 2

and the result again…

Code: Select all

        <Macro index="9" name="vol mic 1" description="">
            <Op id="FairlightAudioMixerInputSourceFaderGain" input="ExternalMic" sourceId="18446744073709486336" gain="-27.2"/>
        </Macro>
        <Macro index="10" name="vol mic 2" description=""/>


To repeat, you can actually RUN the command from the Macro palette, and it works! It's just that the code is missing from the XML file (which of course means you can't modify it, integrate it with other commands, etc.)

Can someone else please verify they are seeing the same thing, and that I'm not loco?

thanks

I guess this is a bug. And could explain it. All other atems have a Stereo input which is just 1 fader, 1 button set. In the Atem mini there are now 2 seperate analog inputs. But guess someone forgot to plug some code to have the Second channel post to XML.

LOL… you're probably right! I'll reach out to support.

Good find Joseph. I see it is supported in the Save/Recall but not the Macro. It's always nice to see people use xml function. Can be powerful.

Hey Gary! Nice to "see" you. Oh I'm all about the Macros… here, check this out: https://jal.bz/2uuJIIG

I see it is supported in the Save/Recall but not the Macro.

Oh also — you meant the other way around, right… it's supported in the Macro, but NOT in the save/recall. Want to be sure we're on the same page here!

[Gary Adams]

Sorry I was in the third page. I was meaning save and recall of the switcher and not the macros. You are correct that the save and recall of the macro to xml does not work. The switcher xml does restore the settings. For users that do not use xml you can make macros that properly control the mics.

Thanks. Gary

Thanks Gary. I can work around it for now but hopefully we'll see this addressed in the next update! Cheers and see you at NAB.

What do you use it for? You program mic inputs to do what? Of course stuff should work but please explain this is new to me.

It’s set up for background music. An iPod is plugged into one of the mic inputs to play music pre- and post-show.

I'm in the same boat and need to be able to control MIC2 with Macros (Mic 1 is my input from my ZOOM H6 and Mic 2 is my mp3 player for background music). Trying to be super lazy and spend the time up front to make the macros easily and tweak with XML modifications to make transitions between scenes on the fly for my live streams easier.

Has this been fixed yet?

This was fixed in the latest firmware update. Stay Safe.
